Full-Moon cleanse

This week brings a full Moon, which marks the time of the lunar cycle when we let things go.

It's a time to shed fears, anger or self-criticism. That can be confronting for us mere mortals whose egos get attached to all our "stuff".

If you like the idea of letting go of some of your baggage, the week's supportive stars make it a great time to do it.

As ever, the best method is to write a list, then burn it. Whatever you are letting go of, declare: "I release you with unconditional love." It's the key to transmuting any negative energy.

The time of the full Moon is traditionally a time of the feminine, so it's a great time for female readers to try a full-Moon ritual to reconnect with their inner goddess. One of the best ways to do this is to bathe in petals by candlelight, then anoint yourself with some beautiful scented oils before treating yourself to a lovely cup of herbal tea.

Then spend a moment thinking about all the women who have been kind or helpful to you over the years – from your mother to anyone else along your way. And if you're a male reader or you don't have a bath, a shower and some cologne will still do the trick.

The full Moon takes place at 10.48pm on Thursday. Make the most of it!
